Akin can still drop out of the race. Under Missouri law, he has until Sept. 25 to obtain a court order for his withdrawal, but it would require Akin to pay for a reprinting of ballots.
If he does try to take his name off the ballot, the withdrawal could be contested by Missouri's Secretary of State, a Democrat or any election authority in the state, even at city or county level. Akin should have withdrawn before the convention next week.
If he can't win in MO, what does this say about the ultra-conservative movement? I think he will win in the end. The far right is solidly behind Akin. It is just the eastern RINO's who are trying to kick him to the curb.

No doubt. His seat has been a "solid R" but now we are seeing a likely temporary backlash because of his insane statements but in the end I agree, the right wing trolls will show up bright and early to vote (R) and he'll win.
It will prove again that those on the right that are nothing but a bunch of brainwashed sheep that don't give a damn in the slightest about what their politicians do, just as long as that (R) is there, they will vote for them.
